Today Daisy models my new charity shop find. Looking forward to reading this, the SF masterworks selections have been a great way for me, as a late comer to sci-fi, to find some top reads in the genre. Also a late tag for #astheworldfallsdown #septembowie @Cinfhen #dogsoflitsy

#SeptemBowie #day15 #AsTheWorldFallsDown Catch up from the weekend.This is one of the most intense,nerve wracking,end of the world as we know it books I have ever read.The tension & dread that is all through this novel will have you stressed till the very end.One day the world wakes up to a phenomenon of monsters,if you see them you die.This is the story of a mother trying to save her children in a world where you have to be blind to survive.

Cinfhen I really liked this one! Great choice ❤️ 7y
Marchpane Excellent synopsis 👏👏 7y
Theresa I read that they're making a movie of this with Sandra Bullock as the lead. As I read this book I thought more than once that it's a book that can't be made into a movie because so much of it is in your head & the terror of not knowing what's out there. So I'm not expecting much of the movie. But I do like Sandra Bullock so I may still see it. 7y

TheLondonBookworm I love this book!!!!!! It's my staff pick at work currently :) it's so freaky 7y
Lizpixie @Marchpane @Cinfhen thank you!✌️ @Theresa I can't imagine they'd be able to replicate that utter sense of despair & terror that this novel has in spades. Horror novels traditionally don't translate well to screen, with just a few exceptions like The Exorcist & The Shining. We'll see I suppose. @TheLondonBookworm it was one of my picks of 2016, I loved it! 7y
JoeStalksBeck But the ending was 🙄 7y
Cinfhen I agree @Theresa but Sandra Bullock is great casting!!!! 7y

Pickpick

#Septembowie #AsTheWorldFallsDown On my #TBR since I ordered it as a #BOTM pick ages ago. The audiobook was available & I figured I'd finish it quicker listening to it. A bit of a slow start, but ultimately I found myself caught up in Sarat's story. A second civil war certainly seems more than possible in today's world & political climate, so it has a frightening edge to it & fits today's musical prompt-what could happen as the world falls down.😱

BookBabe I loved this scene in Labyrinth! 😍 7y

#catchingup on #septembowie #day15 - #astheworldfallsdown & #awesomeautumnbooks #day16 - #marvelousmemoirs

Something of a 2 birds / 1 stone situation, though both themes are nothing if not apt. The memoir in question is "marvelous" in its meaning and execution, not in what it recounts, obviously.

I still haven't read this (so many chunksters to get to), but it mentions"society's collapse" in the back description, so I think it works for #astheworldfallsdown #septembowie

KathyWheeler I loved it. 7y
quietjenn @KathyWheeler it sounds right up my alley, so hopefully I'll get to it soon. 7y
KathyWheeler @quietjenn It's a trilogy. The Twelve is the 2nd book and The City of Mirrors is the 3rd. 7y

Their world really did fall around them 😳. I had a Romanov obsession in the 90s and read a bunch of these. This one was great because Massie was one of the first people to have full access to the Russian records post the find of the grave in 1991. This is the story of the historians and forensic experts working out what happened and resolving the various Anastasia theories.

Lynnsoprano I remember reading Massie's Nicholas and Alexandra and enjoying it. To the TBR this goes. 7y
Cinfhen Such a fascinating time in history 7y
Centique @Lynnsoprano ooh I'm going to need to read that one too! 7y

I love this trilogy. Atwood brings her signature subversive wit to an #astheworldfallsdown scenario.

(Incidentally, my favorite band, Girl in a Coma, does a killer cover of this song. Highly recommend)
